Jeez, doesn’t your dad have a job?”: Joe LaCava once recalled how he spent his time off during Tiger Woods’ injury-stricken period
Joe LaCava, Tiger Woods’ longtime caddie, has been with the golfer through thick and thin. In a recent interview, LaCava recalled how he spent his time off during Woods’ injury-stricken period.
I was bored out of my mind," LaCava said with a laugh. "I'm used to being on the road, being around Tiger, being around the golf course. It was a weird adjustment.
I tried to play some golf, but it wasn’t the same without Tiger,” LaCava said. “I also spent a lot of time with my family and friends. But mostly, I was just bored.”
LaCava’s boredom didn’t last long. Woods eventually made his comeback, and LaCava was right back by his side. But LaCava says that his time off taught him a valuable lesson.
I learned that I’m not just a caddie,” LaCava said. “I’m a friend. And I’m there for Tiger, no matter what.”
LaCava’s dedication to Woods is one of the reasons why he’s been so successful. He’s a confidant, a motivator, and a friend. And he’s always there for Woods, no matter what.
Woods is lucky to have LaCava by his side. And LaCava is lucky to have Woods in his life.
